[Video] Voidtrecker's history
From: Storage.
To: All train.
[Fëanor has changed into regular Voidtrecker uniform but somehow it doesn't make him look less regal when he starts his address.]
Fellow Voidtreckers!
This Fëanor. I need to speak to all of you on the matter that is both dire and urgent. Each platform leaves us with our numbers growing and diminishing at the same time. Each time some come and some go. And yet we have no record of it. No way of remembering those that were here once but are no longer.
[Fëanor pauses, he looks straight into the camera for a few moments before continuing.]
I say we change that.
I say it matters that we are here.
I say it mattered that those that left were here too. They made a difference, they deserve being remembered. So do we.
We know there were Voidtreckers before us and yet there is no trace of them besides one personal log with no context. As if they never existed.
I say We deserve better.
It’s not even difficult. All we need is will and a little effort. We have a working printer and at least one working camera. We can take pictures of everyone who is on the train now. We have artists who can draw those that are no longer here. We can write their names and their stories so they won’t be lost to obscurity.

How very Vaire of you! Your mother would be so proud!
Will they be a series of vignettes, histories of each person, or something more cohesive? Are we to speak of who they were when they arrived, or touch on that, but concentrate mostly on who they were to us while they were here? Whose lives they impacted? Would this be best done by those who knew them well, or, at least for those still here, shall we write our own story?
Don't call him out like th.... argh... Just don't...
[(ooc: he might look all cool and composed in the video feed but we all know this is his the actual state of mind.)]
I see you have experience in such matters, Lord Glorfindel. What would you think would be best?
[First rule of court survival: deflect if you have no idea how to answer a question. And he very much doesn't. Not a clue. He did... not think it through, alright?]
Heh. Heh heh.
[Delegate to those who have the ideas and passion to see it through. Always the best way to go.]
